Sports reviews of Schwinn Free Wheeler Jogging Stroller (Red/Black)
Customer Review: Good Stroller for the Price
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I purchased the stroller about a month ago and have used it several times, mostly for walking. It handles well and goes with minimal effort. You do need to make sure to engage the footbrake when stopping, because the stroller has no rolling resistance (which is good when you're on the move). My son, almost 1 year, sits comfortably in the stroller. The sun shade provides good coverage and has a little window, so you can check in on the little one. The basket provides all the room I need and things stay in there. The adult tray leaves something to be desired, everything bounces around in there, but that isn't really important to me. The front wheel swivels or locks in place for jogging. The swivel wheel rocks and saves your arms a lot of work walking around the neighborhood or on a trail. Overall, I think it is a great value and quality.Customer Review: After 1 month of Use

Product Description - my comments
* Reclining seat - Its really a lace that you can adjust yourself at any level
* Extra thick padded seat- Its really not, as other recommend, I added my own padding
* One hand fold - it still takes me both hands to fold.
* Under seat storage basket - as others say, the basket looks as it will fall down. I really don't know why it is not re-enforced.
* Rear parent storage pouch - although it might be the same size as a folder, it is also as thin as a folder. May be difficult for people with large hands.
Overall, stroller is light to push/maneuver. If I could, I would: add a hand break, re-enforce storage basket, and a lid to the parents' tray.
Customer Review: Great jogger except for the reclined seat.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
We have owned this jogger for 2 years now and have yet to have any issues. It is a great stroller and comes at a decent price. Our only complaint is how far back the seat reclines. We questioned it back when we purchased it and decided that we would just 'deal' with it. We decided that adding a short bungee cord too the back would make the seat sit up better and it did! We attached it on each side of the seat(poles leading to the wheels NOT the push bar) and it brings it to a more upright position. We bought a black bungee so that no one could see it. It's a great jogger and the only reason I deducted a start was because of the seat issueCustomer Review: Overall, great stroller

Good
1. Smooth ride for my little one
2. Well made, good construction
3. Attractive
4. Light enough (as far as jogging strollers under $200 go)
5. Front and rear wheels locks quickly easily and securely
6. HUGE hood for shade
Bad
Folding / portability is HORRIBLE. If you have a small trunk you're counting on it fitting in, dont. It's very bulky, even "folded", if thats what you want to call it. I have a minivan with no 3rd row seat so I'll get by just fine. I just dread the day I HAVE to fit into my wife's Toyota Corolla =\
Otherwise, its a great stroller!
Customer Review: Lot's of features at this price.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This guys has very few flaws for its price. I have owned this stroller for 9 months.
Pros: Pushes very well rocks, paths, sidewalks, etc.. Runs great too (only tried this on trails and pavement). Lots of room for your little one. Basket is easily to get to. Most everything is what it seems.
Cons: Doesn't stand when folded (not a lot of joggers do this), No locking feature for travel or storage, Cumbersome but most jogger are.
My recommendation: If you are a jogger this stroller is fantastic. I do think there are more choices out there for those who might be trail walkers and everyday users.
